I am wondering if I am getting 3D acceleration.  I am now using an
MII10000 board (CLE266 chipset).  glxinfo indicates that direct
rendering is enabled, but when I run glxgears, I am at ~100% cpu usage
to get ~425fps.  It seems like I shouldn't be getting that kind of cpu
usage if I am getting 3D acceleration.  My xorg.conf has the following
options set:

"EnableAGPDMA"
"DisableIRQ"
"RenderAccel" "true"

I have been through everything I can find on the net about setting up
DRI stuff, but I just wonder why my cpu usage is so high.
The main reason that I need to resolve this is that I am using MythTV
with the OpenGL renderer and between mythfrontend and X, I am using all
of the available cpu.  This has the responsiveness of Myth being really
slow.  Is this behavior unavoidable, or do I have something set up
wrong?  I noticed on the website that it is recommended to use
MesaLib-6.4, but I have 6.5 installed?  Is this the problem?  I would
like some input before I try to roll back to 6.4.2 since I have Xorg-7.1
installed and would have to roll that back to 7.0 meaning a reinstall of
a whole lot of software.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joel
